Award Winning Makinex Construction Products launches its UK operation

Makinex Construction Products was established in Australia in 2004 focusing on designing robust light construction equipment for the Hire industry. Over the past decade its business model has been to take these products throughout the world, including USA and Europe.

Today, the company is pleased to announce the opening of its UK offices and will appoint Russell Boswell-Munday as UK Sales Manager.

Paul Weaver, Makinex Managing Director, said: “Entering new markets around the world can be a minefield. Two years ago, we partnered with Morris Site Machinery (MSM) in the United Kingdom on this journey as we held similar values designing innovative equipment offering our customers a better, more efficient way to do their job.

“Morris Site Machinery has represented the Makinex range in a highly professional way during this time- something we are very grateful for. They have set the foundations for the brand in the UK and we now feel the time is right for Makinex to go it alone.”

Makinex has big ambitions, and as part of its Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) it aims to have 20 products in twenty countries within the next ten years. The company currently has offices in Australia and North America along with distribution partners in 12 other countries.

With 20 plus years in the industry and now in his role as UK Sales Manager, Russell Boswell-Munday will be instrumental to helping the Australian company grow even further and achieve its goal of becoming the most innovative equipment supplier.

Makinex Construction Products has won many awards around the world for innovation including the Executive Hire Show “Innovation Trail Award” back in 2016 for its Powered Hand Truck, as well as a Good Design Award in Australia and the RER Innovation Award in USA 2016.
